360
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,040
left him and his mother

361
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,640
and followed a possessed man,
thinking he was a god-man.

362
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,480
Since then, he and his mother survived

363
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,600
by serving food to
the bridge construction workers.

364
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,680
Even back then, he was a skilled seller.

365
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,280
During his time as an altar boy,

366
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,920
he stole the umbrella of the Bishop
who visited the church.

367
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,360
He was caught red-handed.

368
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,560
When the Bishop asked him
why he stole the umbrella, he told him

369
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,800
he didn't have an umbrella
to go to school.

370
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,880
He used to study well.

371
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,280
After enquiring about his background,

372
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400
the Bishop sent him to a good institute.

373
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,360
After finishing his studies there,

374
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,400
he roamed around a bit and reached Bombay.

375
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,680
He met Alice there,

376
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,400
married her, and started his business.

377
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,680
We, the Malayalees have known
Vincent since then.

378
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,880
Do you know if Vincent ever lived in
Athirappilly - Malakkappara area?

379
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,920
He stayed in different institutions at
Chalakudy and Angamaly during his studies.

380
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,880
And, during the years you mentioned,
he got some kind of lifeline.

381
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,560
He clung to it and thrived.

382
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,160
I don't know what it is, though.

383
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,720
[rain pouring]

384
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,200
[ominous music playing]

385
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,200
[music rises]

386
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,360
Please.

387
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,680
We have received information that

388
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,960
you were staying with the Bishop
in the Malakkappara area

389
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,960
during the period Rajendran mentioned.

390
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,960
The place where we
found the skeleton is

391
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,200
around six kilometres
from the house you stayed back then.

392
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,440
What do you have to say about that?

393
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,640
It was the Bishop

394
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,920
who took the initiative
to provide me with an education.

395
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,360
As he got older,

396
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,120
I accompanied him as his helper.

397
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,320
Until he returned from Malakkappara
after his retreat,

398
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:21,560
I was with him.

399
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,560
In fact, not till he returned.

400
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Till his death.

401
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,040
Two days before Rajendran's death,

402
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,320
he had called your company's front office

403
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,120
and spoke for around 15 seconds.

404
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,560
Why would he have called?

405
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Look.

406
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,960
Every front office call sir receives

407
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,320
gets filtered by them
before it reaches me.

408
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,520
Only if the caller
clearly mentions the purpose,

409
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,480
the phone call will reach even my level.

410
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,080
And anyway, there will be records.

411
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,520
Why don't you check it?

412
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,040
Is there any rule which states that

413
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,000
one's family or advocate should be with him
when we take his statement?

414
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,760
CRPC 41 D.

415
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:00,960
Aren't you an advocate?

416
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:02,400
You must know it.

417
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920
You shouldn't be
within earshot of the questions,

418
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,720
far enough to just see us.

419
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,520
That's where the advocate should be.

420
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,080
See...

421
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,680
I am cooperating here.

422
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,240
Nobody knows whose skeleton it is,

423
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880
the one your investigation is about.

424
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,120
Yet, I came here when you called me over.

425
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,440
Not just them,

426
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,640
even Rajendran, who buried her,
doesn't know who he buried.

427
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,480
A wasted man

428
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,400
blabbered something,

429
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,280
and that's the sole reason sir is here now.

430
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,120
Anyway, isn't it obvious that
half of his words were true,

431
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,560
when the skeleton was found?

432
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Let's see if the other half, too, is true.

433
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,080
No, there's no chance for an arrest.

434
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,440
What are your comments about
this accusation, sir?

435
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,520
As a responsible citizen,
I came here as the police called me over.

436
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,200
I have answered all their questions, too.
That's all.

437
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,480
Do you fear an arrest?

438
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,520
See, we are cooperating
with the investigation

439
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,280
in every way possible. Okay?

440
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Some police officers are
thoroughly prejudiced.

441
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,280
And it's rummy players
who are investigating the case now.

442
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,520
Now, please excuse us.

443
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Sir, the current situation is--
Sir, sir...

444
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,160
[man] Please, sir. One more question.

445
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760
[suspenseful music intensifies]

446
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,720
Minu.

447
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,160
Careful.

448
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,200
Why this way, sir?

449
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,240
This is my way of doing it.

450
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,440
She walked on her two feet for a while,
after all.

451
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,760
It was destined
to be unravelled one day, sir.

452
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,880
I guess we get a conclusive result?

453
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,400
We will get the results for sure.

454
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,560
The DNA samples are collected from
the breast bone and teeth.

455
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,360
One second. Can you hold it?

456
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:07,680
[phone rings]

457
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,960
Hold it properly.

458
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,080
Hello?

459
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,600
Yeah. Okay.

460
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,640
Okay.

461
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,000
The result is ready.

462
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,640
The samples didn't match.

463
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,560
Shinto.

464
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,840
Call and inform them.

465
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,040
Okay, sir.

466
00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:45,880
Hello.

467
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,560
I'm calling from Malakkappara station.

468
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,800
Is that so?

469
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,920
[rain pouring]

470
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,400
[emotional score plays]

471
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,760
[prayers for the deceased's soul]

472
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,240
My sister went missing when I was 16.

473
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,160
After that, for the last 40 years,

474
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:49,080
we haven't seen our dad smile.

475
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,680
Dad was sure that it was my sister.

476
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,400
He was relieved that
we got her remains, at least.

477
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,160
Do you know, sir?

478
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,520
Death is an affirmation.

479
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,560
It is the waiting that hurts more.

480
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,640
[man] Do you know, sir?

481
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,960
Death is an affirmation.

482
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,200
It is the waiting that hurts more.

483
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,040
[soft music playing]

484
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,000
[policeman] Sir...

485
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,400
Do fraud cases where the girl fled

486
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,760
count as cases of missing persons?

487
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,040
[tense music slowly rises]

488
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,200
-Give it to the writer.
-Yes, sir.

489
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,080
Come take a seat, Vivek.

490
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,560
-Sit, John.
-Sir.

491
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,800
Sit.

492
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,200
-Okay, sir.

493
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,160
Vivek, I didn't quite understand
what you said about the memo yesterday.

494
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Yesterday, when we checked
the crime memo register

495
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,440
for the 1983-1985 period,

496
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,040
we saw the memo
sent from Thrissur city station

497
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,280
about a missing case.

498
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,840
It was sent from here. In 1985.

499
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400
There's a minor change
in the section charged in the FIR.

500
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,480
The accused, in this case, is
the very girl who went missing.

501
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,760
She was charged with cheating and fraud.

502
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,400
Let's look for it then.

503
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,720
[suspenseful music plays]

504
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:12,960
-Sir...
-Yes?

505
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,440
See this?

506
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,680
This is a case file by one Mr Chandrappan
against a girl.

507
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,680
But

508
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,600
I am unable to read the details in the FIR.

509
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,240
Chandrappan...

510
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,280
Palathara...

511
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,400
Poochakkal.

512
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,440
Poochakkal?

513
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,760
Even when a girl flees,
it's still a missing case, John sir.

514
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,800
Yes, sir.

515
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,640
We shall investigate this further.

516
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,200
Okay, sir. We shall.

517
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,680
We don't get letters to this address
these days, sir.

518
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,480
The last one to this address
was a registered mail.

519
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,880
It was returned to the sender
as there was nobody to receive it.

520
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,560
It was from some film union.

521
00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:59,160
FEFKA or something like that.

522
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,400
[man] Chandrappan, right?

523
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,360
He was the production controller
for a couple of films back then.

524
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,640
Some disputes happened

525
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,560
and a registered mail was sent to him.

526
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,240
It was about expelling him from the union.

527
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,280
But that mail returned.

528
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,000
We looked up his new address
and then sent the mail again.

529
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,480
We have that address.

530
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,120
And if you want any favours from him,

531
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,080
just buy a bottle of booze
and go there, sir.

532
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Mentioning that you're the police
won't help.

533
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,240
Let me send you the address.

534
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,840
-Alright.
-Okay.

535
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:38,520
[indistinct chatter]

536
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,920
-Isn't this the place?

00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,200
He speaks with so much clarity.

711
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,760
But none of it is of any use to us.

712
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,240
Even after finding her name and face,

713
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,040
the investigation isn't progressing, sir.

714
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,520
In the case of Rekha,

715
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,160
Mohandas sir seems...

716
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,160
somewhat unsure.

717
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,600

Excuse me, sir.

721
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,040
-Hey, Shinto.
-[man] Did Mohan sir say anything?

722
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:17,560
Any new updates?

723
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,360
We're watching
the 'Kaathodu Kaathoram' episode again.

724
00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:24,240
And I got some photo negatives
from the Seven Arts team.

725
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,440
-I checked them too.
-Any hope, sir?

726
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:27,600
Nothing much.

727
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,560
[John Paul] ...though the audience
eagerly waited for it,

728
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,880
some of the fans didn't quite like it.

729
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,880
I just remembered something
that ties into this.

730
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,800
Any info
about the guy who called Rajendran?

731
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:41,480
We're conducting an investigation
focusing on the bars near Alappuzha.

732
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Those are the places he might have visited.

733
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:44,440
Yeah, do it thoroughly.

734
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,920

...that's when a nun wearing anklets

735
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,720
came walking towards me.

736
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,400
She asked me if I was John Paul,

737
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,160
and she didn't wait for my response,

738
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,360
-I'll call you back.
-Okay sir.

739
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,920
...she asked me
why I made Mammootty shave his head.

740

Before I could answer...

741
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,720
During the shoot of 'Kaathodu Kaathoram',

742
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,080
I was focused on the final touch-up

743
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,120
of the scene that was about to be shot,

744
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,960
...that's when a nun wearing anklets
came walking towards me.

745
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,800
She asked me if I was John Paul,

746
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,160
and she didn't wait for my response

747
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,480
and asked me
why I had made Mammootty shave his head.

Sir, are you John Paul?

752
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,440
Yes.

753
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,640
Are you the one
who made our Mammootty shave his head?

754
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,160
Yes. It's me.

755
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,720
So miserable, sir.

756
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,920
[John Paul] While walking away,

757
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,040
when the tunic that covered her feet
moved a bit,

758
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:09,400
those anklets gleamed in front of my eyes
once again.

759
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,760
The anklets flashed once again...

760

-Yes.

763
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,040
-Where's the shoot happening?
-In that house right there.

764
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,200
-That one?
-Yeah.

765
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:30,360
Okay.

766
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,720
[indistinct chatter]

767
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:36,680
-Oh-no! Is it a single shot?
-Yes.

768
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,120
-[woman] Won't you say the counter dialogues?
-[man] Yes.

769

770
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:47,720
Jayasree, the shot is okay.

771
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,600
Sir, a policeman is here to meet you.

772
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,040
Set the trolley shot next, Vineesh. Okay?

773
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:55,120
Okay, sir.

774
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,880
I have several memories associated with
'Kaathodu Kaathoram'.

775
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,320
Bharathan sir made a wig for Mammookka

776
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,360
after seeing my hairstyle.

777
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:05,280
Sir...

778
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,520
Remember the girl
I mentioned the other day?

779
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Yes.

780
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,360
This is Rekha's photo which was
developed by the cyber cell.

781
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,240
And this one is from a shot in the film.

782
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,480
I vaguely remember her
after seeing this photo.

783
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,400
However, I could recall the name 'Rekha'
only after you mentioned it.

784
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,760
Back then, her absence from the shoot

785
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,760
caused a continuity issue
and led to big trouble.

786
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,400
Whichever angle we placed the camera on,
we couldn't cover her absence.

787
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:33,880
As I was the associate director,

788
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,960
it was me who Bharathan sir
scolded the most.

789
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:38,040
Sir...

790
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:41,080
I have a feeling ever since I saw
John Paul sir's program the other day

791
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,240
that it is Rekha.

792
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:45,560
Even on the skeleton we found,

793
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:46,960
there was an anklet.

794
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,520
John Paul uncle had told me too
about a nun wearing anklets.

795
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,960
We were planning to do
'Unnikale Oru Kadha Parayam' back then.

796
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,120
The lead actress uncle had in mind
was a girl like her.

797
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,720
Do you remember anything else about her?

798
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:03,720
I know that chances are slim.

799
00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:05,160
Still, I just asked.

800
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:07,720
No.

801
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,200
-Shall I take your leave then, sir?
-Okay, sure.

802
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:12,840
-Thank you.
-Okay.

803
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,360
Sir...

804
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:16,040
I'm asking you this out of curiosity.

805
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,800
'Unnikale Oru Kadha Parayam'
is one of my favourite films.

806
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:20,880
Had you met Rekha again,

807
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,680
would you have cast her as the heroine?

808
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,680
I don't know for sure.

809
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,360
But let me tell you something.

810
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,040
She had striking features.

811
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,000
Quite an expressive face.

812
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,960
Do you know the late Shobha,
the one from 'Shalini Ente Koottukari'?

813
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,000
She was like her.

814
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,600

a bright future in films.

linked to bigwigs of the ruling party,

820
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,080
including the chief minister.

821

These are the records of
those unethical deals.

823
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:37,520
what should I do with this?

824
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,360
If the police come after us,

825
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:42,960
somebody else will come after you too.

826
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:46,760

01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:24,120

near Malakkappara Church,

who was the one you and the others
were carrying near our house?

1410

1411
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,920
Who took that girl away that day?

1412
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:37,000
That...

1413
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:38,880
Pra... Pranchi was there.

1414
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:41,160
And?

1415
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:43,480
R... Rajan... R...

1416
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:45,400
Rajan, and?

1417
01:32:45,440 --> 01:32:49,200
Vakkachan too... Vakka... Vakkachan...

1418
01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:51,440
What exactly happened that day?

1419
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,400
There... ah...

1420
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,400
I got some money.

1421
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:58,480
And Dad... Dad...

1422
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,600
is there any of that money left?

1423
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:02,240
Give him more to drink.

1424
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:05,000
Listen, any money left from that?

1425
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:07,400
N... No, son. Nothing
-Huh? Nothing?

1426

Nothing, son!

1428
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,080
Give me more.

Sir,

1430
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:19,360
we understood that
a woman was killed that night,

1431
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:22,160
and they got paid for it.

1432
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,600
Catching Rajan wasn't hard.

1433
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:29,320
He used to do odd jobs at our house.

1434
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:32,000
Now he's doing much better in life.

1435
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:36,440
But Pranchi? We couldn't figure him out.

1436
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,280
We bought an old phone, used a fake SIM,

1437
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:41,800
and called him.

1438
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,520
He met us at Cheruthana and
gave us some money.

1439
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,200
Then, we saw a video of him
taking his own life.

1440
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,480
He didn't mention my father in it.

1441
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:53,960
Maybe because
my father had already passed away.

1442
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:01,200
I'll come again very soon.

1443
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:03,600
You'll need to come with me to Thrissur

1444
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:05,640
to meet the SP and explain all this,
alright?

1445
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:07,760
That's your only chance to get out of this.

1446

Alright, I'll come, sir.

1447

1451

Binu saw Baby and three others
carrying a girl away.

That girl also had an anklet on her foot.

1453
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:27,920
We don't have
investigative authority right now,

1454
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:30,400
so we can't even take them into custody.

1455
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:32,640
Sir, please speak to the SP.

1456
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,120
No matter what, I'll present them there.

1457
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,160
Will they double-cross us?

No, sir.

1459
01:34:38,480 --> 01:34:40,960
I'm sure the girl from that day was Rekha,

1460
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,000
and we now have a witness.

01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:33,680

addressing him as 'Mammootty chettan',

1800
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:36,160
some doubts arose in my mind.

1801
01:59:38,160 --> 01:59:40,520

in 'Mutharamkunnu PO' as well.

addressing him 'Mammootty chettan'.

1805
01:59:48,000 --> 01:59:50,960
There's a story
behind that character's creation.

1806
01:59:53,720 --> 01:59:57,280
My first film was released in 1984.

1808

After that, when I did a few more films,

1809
02:00:01,920 --> 02:00:04,400
Nana magazine published an article
about me.

1810
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:07,960
With the heading
'From teaching to acting'.

1811
02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:11,640
Perhaps after reading that,

1812
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:13,400
a couple of weeks later,

1813
02:00:13,560 --> 02:00:16,480

from a girl named Rekha.

As it was the first letter I received
as an actor,

1823
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:44,240
I wrote back, conveying my gratitude.

1824
02:00:44,480 --> 02:00:46,280
She was overjoyed about it.

1825
02:00:46,520 --> 02:00:48,440
She continued writing letters to me
frequently.

1826
02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:52,200
She wrote to me about
sending letters to the New Woodlands Hotel,

1827
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:54,800
addressing Mammootty as
'Mammootty chettan'.

1828
02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:59,160
Once, she even asked me in a letter if I
could get her a signed photo of Mammootty.

1829
02:00:59,520 --> 02:01:02,000
When she mentioned that
she would enter the film industry

1830
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,080
even if it took her to leave her parents,

1831
02:01:04,600 --> 02:01:05,960
I wrote her a letter.

1832

[Jagadish] Dear Rekha,

1833
02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:10,800
there's nothing bad about
the desire to act.

1834
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:15,080
But education is the most important thing
in the times ahead.

1835
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:19,120
It was only after finishing my M.Com
and working as a teacher

1836
02:01:19,400 --> 02:01:21,160
I ventured into acting.

1837
02:01:21,480 --> 02:01:23,200
There's a time for everything.

With love, Jagadish.

1840
02:01:28,760 --> 02:01:31,360
I never received letters from her
since then.

1841
02:01:31,640 --> 02:01:34,080
I thought she didn't like my advice.

1842
02:01:34,440 --> 02:01:36,400
But, after reading this supplement,

1843
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:38,800
I have a feeling that
the Rekha who wrote to me

1844
02:01:38,840 --> 02:01:40,920
is the same person you're searching for.

1845
02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:45,800
I'm not sure

1846
02:01:46,040 --> 02:01:48,000
if she even read my last letter.

1847
02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:51,800
I used my radio play 'Sahridaya Samaksham'

1848
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:54,480
as the foundation for the story of
'Mutharamkunnu PO'.

02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:58,000
It was Sreenivasan who wrote its
screenplay and dialogues.

This is the story behind the formation of

The house name of Amminikutty in the film

are the same.
